§ 112 and 113. Mr. WHITTYasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) whether it is proposed to hold any inquiry into the loss of the London and North-Western Railway Company's steamer "Connemara" and the collier "Retriever" off Cranfield Point, in Carlingford Lough; and (2) whether any signals of distress were sent up from the "Connemara" or from the lighthouse close by after the collision with the "Retriever"; whether it was due to the lack of any wireless facilities along this part of the coast that no intimation of the disaster reached the lifeboat station at Crcenore in time to be of any service; whether the "Connemara's" wireless call for help was received at Kingstown; and whether steps will be taken to remedy this state of affairs?
Mr. RUNCIMANI propose to order a formal investigation into the loss of these two vessels, and the various points which the hon. Member has raised can then be fully examined.
